Linked across the watershed pass of the Bielerhöhe by the serpentine road of the Silvretta Hochalpenstrasse, both the Montafon and Paznaun valleys are luxuriously green and attractive, and having the Verwall mountains on one side and the Silvretta Alps on the other, they provide numerous walking opportunities. Apart from Ischgl, their village resorts are mostly small and fairly low-key, public transport is good, and waymarked trails abundant within the main valleys. But it is the tributary valleys and the mountains they drain that are the main focus of attention here. Mountain huts are found in virtually all of these southern tributaries, and there are some rewarding routes that link one with another, often over scenic passes.

The high mountain landscapes are some of the most impressive in all Austria. Notable among Silvretta summits are the rock pinnacle of the Gross Litzner (3109m), the glacier-draped Piz Buin (3312m) and neighbouring 3197m Dreiländerspitz.
